Hello!

There are two applicable patches within Fedora:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/xorg-x11-drv-ati.git/commit/fix-dri-removal.patch?id=d5f48e7d5b6c
https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/xorg-x11-drv-ati.git/commit/radeon-6.12.2-lvds-default-modes.patch?id=9495e5b874d8

Are these patches required, if so, care to explain?

Thanks
